Dr Prabhakaran Naveen

Consultant Psychiatrist

About

I provide excellent quality of care for my patients, with my years of knowledge and experience of working in psychiatry of adults of working age.

I moved on from my continuous NHS employment at various grades in psychiatry since 2001, to the inpatient team at Priory Hospital Bristol, in January 2023. I finished the inpatient role in August 2026.

I continue to undertake second opinions for detained psychiatric patients (SOAD) through the Care Quality Commission. I also undertake medical legal work for civil and immigration cases, through legal instructions.

I have been a visiting consultant psychiatrist since September 2020 at Priory Hospital Bristol, providing assessment and management of mental health disorders in adults of working age.

I do not undertake ADHD, ASC, dementia or brain injury assessments.
